Pushing the criteria a little with this one.
Scotland mini-tour from Fort William
Train: Caledonian sleeper. Euston > Fort William. Booking bikes is easy, get a cabin, it is spendy but consider it a nights sleep/accomodation. You do have to wake up at Edinburgh to move your bike onto a different storage carriage as the train is split in 3.
Route: https://www.komoot.com/tour/735893030
Mostly quiet roads and a section of NCN 78 which has some great infastructure. The road between Fort William and Corran is not ideal and depending on day of the week, you can get a ferry to the other side at Fort William and avoid this.
I'd also consider riding this route clock wise. Best done outside of school holidays and peak caravan seasons.
We did this leaving london Wed night and arriving back on Monday morning (going straight to the office) but it could be done quicker. I think leaving Thur night, returning Sunday night would be possible but check ahead for ferry times. The komoot total distance includes ferries.
Purpose built switchbacks on NCN 78, Fort William > Oban.
Night skies over Acharacle.
Ferry at Ardgour. This one is free for cyclists.
